What do you mean by "regular shading"? ... Because that's not really a term. Do you mean pencil shading? If so, that's actually a bad thing. (But yes, Lazor drawing is totally flat. It's also very old. xD)

I am very much impressed by your two point perspective piece. The fact that you were able to get your lines down so well and make it believable is really outstanding. Personally though, I think I like the Sparrow piece the best. It may not have the level of detail that some of your other drawings do, but I feel like the level of emotion you captured is palpable. Also that Jolly Roger. :]

Your crosshatching is great too. It's makes for a really unique style in your drawings. It's pretty clear that you have some classical training in the artistic department! Have you taken classes or is art just a hobby for you?

Haha, I really like that little sparrow too. Drawing birds is so much fun! And yes, I definitely have *some* "classical" training. I've taken summer and Saturday morning art classes at the Columbus College of Art and Design and I recently took a figure drawing class from a professor of art at American University. (Along with high school art classes and the like.) Hopefully I'll get some further instruction while at college.

So here's something else. I thought it'd be fun to do a "Before and After" drawing. The one on the left is from January 2011 and the one on the right is from August 2013. I must say I'm pretty happy with myself.

I am seeing potential, here. Like early stages of serious development. I'm curious as to how you'll turn out in a few years. But as for the here and now, I'd agree with Alexial. My favorite pieces are both the perspective one, and the sparrow. I admit, I love myself a drawing of a real life bird such as a sparrow, as the source itself is naturally cute. Like hamsters. It reminds me of how Bill Watterson could really draw birds well when the situation warranted.

The before and after shows some nice progress, too. If you want, keep a log (doesn't have to be literal) of what you've done, maybe saving a few of your favorite pieces, and just keep revisiting them. Even in a year's time. If you've been keeping up with it, you should see some progress, and be able to see where your strengths lie.

Mmmm, thanks! That sparrow always gets lot of attention for whatever reason. And yeah, I'm kind of doing that now. Keeping a log, I mean. We'll see how that goes.

Also, I was able to take another figure drawing class, and presumably will every Tuesday now. So wee! Unfortunately getting back in to figure drawing moade was harder than I thought it'd be. But here we have one of the results. (Although the image quality isn't so hot.)

Oh wow, you've got some really potent imagery going on in your latest drawings. I'm curious, what inspired the drawing "Panic"? Because it's obviously very powerful and I'd like to know a little more about your state of mind while you were drawing it. If there is anything to say on the matter, that it. Sometimes you don't need to be sad to draw a sad drawing. But if there was something that inspired Panic than I'd like to know! :)

Well, to be honest, it was two things. The first was listening to a lot of "Panic! at the Disco" after seeing them live--which is the superficial reason. The second was me being in a funk about being in a long distance relationship at the start of college. I just didn't know if it was going to be right for me or not.
